I read them...... It seems to me that folding may attract a lot of quiet guys who would like to improve the world, but don't want to be activists. They are competitive, quietly, but enjoy seeing their name in print.
That adds to the competition that Stanford depends on to keep the project going. As far as I can tell, the folding project is still a definate contribution to the understanding of several diseases that cause the doctors to say, "there is nothing we can do." I would like to feel that I made a small contribution towards a cure. Even if that contribution was only a small contribution to the medical data base.
Keeping the chatter going is important. There is a new fella right now, who folds for another team that needs help. He resurected a very old thread called
Windows farm server and Mini Linux... something or other by shinysteve. Someone might be able to help this guy. The team he folds for hasn't. He came here (I guess) because Sudhian has a reputation. It should not die out because we are basically quiet people. I'm just too dumb to figure out his question.

It is hard work to post weekly statistics. I appreciate the hard work of those like dwjj, BMWRider, and Tino. If it would help, I would do it from time to time.
